 Topic: Hot washes
Posted: 26 January 2009 at 9:22pm |
Are these ok for nappies??? And are they good for nappies???
I now have free hot water (turned my hot water off at the switch board and now heating it with the chippy - free wood) so thought I might try a hot wash but want to make sure it is good and ok for the nappies.

The only time I've done a hot wash was when I was stripping my nappies, I'm not sure what regular hot washes would do to the long-term wear of your nappies. Probably best to contact the manufacturer to be on the safe side.

If you have minky naps hot washes aren't good for the fabric. Recommended by who I get my minky from.

I have always washed my nappies at 60C and they seem to be fine

I only have Fuzzis so i have just checked the FuzziBunz website and it says:
Washing/Drying your FuzziBunz™:
First, run a cold rinse or soak cycle with no detergent.
Second, run a hot cycle with detergent. Do not use bleach.
Third, if your hot wash is not automatically followed by a cold rinse, run a cold rinse cycle. This step only necessary with a particularly dirty load.
Tumble dry the diapers in dryer on low or hang to dry. Do not use fabric softener or pure soap*. Never dry on high heat.
I usually cold rinse and then warm wash. If they are yucky or every few months I hot wash them.

We usually do a hot wash with our fuzzis. Our machine starts off with a hot wash and rinses in cold after that. No probs in terms of them breaking down.
